In fact, if you must know? Welch thinks Obama’s done a “horrible” job with this thing. Too many “photo-ops,” not enough “solutions.” If Welch were dealing with this, he says he’d set up the “five best people in exploration and production” in an office space across the street from the White House. He’d visit them “between 5 and 6 every night” to check their progress, and he wouldn’t let them come out until they’d figured out how to fix this thing. Unfortunately Welch has his hands tied getting his online business school off the ground, and doesn’t have the time to deal with himself.

My solution to most problems =
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows

OK, Jack: Bush, Cheney, who are the other 3?
Well, I am not impressed with Jack Welch. His juice is disgusting.
The Situation
Jack Welch sounds just like the actor Bruno Kirby. Amazing.
Can we reprise the comments from the online business school thread and just start hating on Welch?
They should consult Skilling. Silence-of-the-Lambs style. Same deal with Berns & the SEC.
I feel in pain and even dumber having watched Kernan and Welch discuss the oil industry. My headache was like the one when you eat ice cream too fast.

More importantly, who at CNBC was tasked with changing Jack’s diaper this morning?
– Becky
– Joe

@9 FTW
While I do disagree with the way Obama has handled some of this, I commend him on the use of the more restrained euphemism “kick some ass.” It just sounds much more presidential than “jack me some mo-fo white honky ass.”
Mr. Gay Banker – you’re not actually funny, clever, whatever enough to justify commenting on every single thread. Please set the bar higher.
Welch: ” Here’s what you do: you get an Airstream trailer…one of the big ones with a john and everything..propane…you know…and you park it on the White House lawn. And you have the.. what?..engineers and drillers and guys who push the tools…what is it? A Kelly pipe? Yeah…saw it on “Dirty Jobs” ..I love Mike Rowe. You ever watch “Dirty Jobs, Joe?”
Kernen: “Uh..yeah sure…
Welch: “Did you see the one where he was squeezing those eel things that looked like a man’s d….”
Becky: “Moving on though, you are at the White house and…”
Welch: “Yeah, yeah…so you have the bright guys at Exxon and Chevron and Shell and BP all living and working the crisis from the Airstream and I go over every night about 5 for a report then I have drink and maybe we BBQ some burgers and then we fax the report to the guys at the leak. Now, no Nobel guys!! No, nada…you get those guys later with the “What now? questions. They work out sample problems like on “Mythbusters”. Great show, you ever watch Mythbusters, Joe?”
Kernen: “Yeah…sure…
Welch: “My favorite show was when they were trying to prove whether you could really eat a bunch of beans and then light a f….”
Becky: “Moving on, you have the briight guys working in thee Airstream and the Nobel guys on standy by…”
Welch: “Right Becky, but we had 16 corporate jets at my old company and I never had to fly stand by, you see…Did you guys ever watch “Wings”? man that was a great show.
@12 Agreed. Gay Banker your comments suck.
I wish Becky would change my diaper.
Knealeclops
Hey Jack, who the f*ck asked you? Now go get your shine box!
@16- guys like you represent pervasive tendency of the Internet to worsen human misery.
Shouldn’t Jack be moving on to pursuits more suitable to what’s left of his feeble brain…..like picking wifey number 4…..
I have a furry diaper that needs changing.

JW: What’s your contingency plan?
The O: Contingency plan?
JW: Your backup plan. You gotta have some kind of backup plan, right?
The O: No, we don’t have a back up plan. This is it.
JW: And this is the best that you c – that the-the government, the *U.S. government* can come up with? I mean, you-you’re NASA for cryin’ out loud, you put a man on the moon, you’re geniuses! You-you’re the guys that think this shit up! I’m sure you got a team of men sitting around somewhere right now just thinking shit up and somebody backing them up! You’re telling me you don’t have a backup plan, that these eight boy scouts right here, that is the world’s hope, that’s what you’re telling me?
The O: Yeah.
Ironic that Jack’s GE discharged PCBs into the Hudson legally, had government issued permits, and he is one to critique a clean up when GE did not want to dredge to Hudson for years….
Maybe Jack can recommend a good Suzy Wetlaufer type reporter to Obama so he can better get his message out there.
@12 ftw. bess, please ban gay banker until it proves that it is funny
I am a former GE officer and can vouch there is no bigger cocksucker on earth than Jack Welch. Total fucktard scumbag sleezy asswipe midget. Take a suck Jack
